Bishopswood House

As you enter the gates of Bishopswood House the Victorian mansion stands amidst extensive lawns and fabulous formal gardens overlooking the Wye Valley and beyond.  Set within 1000 acre private estate and woodlands, the location is secluded and magical and offers amazing photograph opportunities and places to explore.  

Enter Bishopswood House into the exquisite Hall with glass domed ceiling and historic sweeping staircase with galleried landing.  The ballroom retains some of its original features and seats 90 guests with ease.  Three elegant reception rooms ensure that there is plenty of space for guests to relax and mill around.  Each room has been individually designed and furnished with period features to ensure each room creates its own distinctive ambience, from the coolness of pastel blues and porcelain to rich reds and polished oak.

The bar has doors opening onto the lawns allowing full use of the available space.  The bar is comprehensively stocked with a good wine list but we are more than happy to stock to individual requirements should we be missing your favourites!  Bespoke wines lists are available and we can also arrange a wine tasting session to allow you to choose the wines for your special day.  

The ceremony room is tucked away and opens onto the gardens seating up to 90 people.

The fifteen bedrooms are each individually designed offering a mixture of single, twin, double and four poster rooms over two floors.  Most have ensuites and those that don't have conveniently located separate bathrooms.  The Honeymoon Suite is fabulously designed with a King Size Four Poster Bed and large bathroom featuring a Jacuzzi bath.  The room, along with many others, has wonderful views across the Wye Valley and beyond.  Early risers can often spot deer on the lawn!

Award winning food can be tailored to your requirements to make sure we capture everything special for your perfect wedding.  Our team of experienced and well trained staff will ensure your day is nothing but perfect and remembered for all the right reasons!  

Bishopswood House is available on an exclusive use basis and your personal wedding planner will work with you and help design your wedding day exclusively for you.

      Fantastic attention to detail, the perfect day!
      To Jenny and all at Bishopswood House, Just wanted to say a big thank you for helping to make our Wedding Day so special. The house is beautiful, we love it and so did our guests. The day ran so smoothly and your attention to detail was greatly appreciated. All who stayed had a fabulous time. It was lovely to have exclusive use of the house and to be able to have breakfast together the next morning. It rounded off a great week end. Luke & Kate Williams, and families

      Beautiful location
      Thank you so much for helping make our wedding day so special. Bishopswood was such a beautiful location and all our guests have commented on it, we can't think of anywhere better to have spent our special day. Thank you especially for re-arranging the disco for us at such short notice - everything was seamless to us!

      Second to none
      A big thank you to you and your staff for helping to make Elspeth and Oliver''s wedding day so special. Bishopswood House was spectacular - the rooms were so welcoming with the open fire and lovely views. And I''m pleased to say it still has its lovely country house feeling. The service we received was second to none. Truly a day to be remembered! Wishing you a happy 2009

      A truly marvellous day
      I wanted to write and thank you for helping make our wedding at Bishopswood House such a perfect day. We knew from the first moment we visited the house back in March last year that it was the perfect venue for our wedding and it certainly held up to and exceeded our expectations. Thank you especially for giving our dog Rocky special permission to be there as our Ring Bearer! Thanks again to you and the team for all your hard work, we had a truly marvellous day.
